I can say that motor is out! I can foresee a lot of cleaning for me unfortunately, here are pics for clicks:






If anyone is interested the motor will be for sale with everthing except alternator and a/c compressor. Full loom shall come out shortly too

Update time!

Things are moving fast now, the motor is dummy fitted without g/b so that i can clean the block up, paint the valve cover and change the clutch for a new one. Ive also gone on a spending spree since the last update with plenty of stuff and im still going, with things including:

Koni coilovers
Brembo front brakes 305x28mm
New rear discs and pads
Braided brake lines
New control arms and swaybar bushes
New hubs and wheel bearings
Mocal oil cooler kit
BFI 0.5 Engine mounts (thanks tim!)
Rebuilt alternator
New water pump + housing
Intake and exhaust ceramic coated

Heres some pics for the time being, big thanks to loon for helping me with the wiring loom too and BAFS for pressing my wheel bearings, hubs and bushes.






(Dont worry about the dirt in the inner wheel well thats gonna be tidied up!!)

Hope u enjoy, better pics soon when the valve cover is done, thus the dirty rag

Hmm I should get a moveon with my tin can then

Where abouts did you get the alternator done and how much good sir?

[peedman]

Thanks guys, i dont think ill make it to dovw with this thing. Itll prob be finished but no cash for rego, insurance etc plus i wanna make sure its ok before i drive however many odd it is to melb!

Steve the alternator got done by a local auto elec for $150, but they didnt do everything just new bushes, slip rings and bearings and a tidy up. A new one from gap is $189 but i cbf getting it with shipping etc so i just went this way.

[DubSteve]
